Strong Huddersfield contingent aiming to help Yorkshire Ladies reach County Championship final with victory over Shropshire at Lockwood Conservative Club

Yorkshire bid to hit Waterloo

Yorkshire Ladies crown green bowlers will be out to gain a place in the British County Championship finals for the second year in succession when they play their semi-final game on Sunday against Shropshire.

The winners go forward to the Championship final while the runners-up will have a place in the Waterloo Cup final, both to be played at Waterloo Bowling Club, Blackpool, on September 21 and 22 respectively.

Last year Yorkshire lost in the Championship final to South Yorkshire by just six points, having lost to Shropshire by one point earlier in the competition.

On Sunday, the home team will play at Lockwood Con and the away team travel to Newport, Shropshire.

As always, support will be very welcome to ensure a place in the Championship final (2pm).
